Supporting Nature-Based Solutions via Nature-Based Thinking across European and Latin American cities
Nature-Based Solutions concepts and practices are being used worldwide as part of attempts to address societal challenges but have also been criticised for not dealing with deeper transformations needed to face urgent issues including biodiversity loss, climate change and inclusion. In this paper, we explore how an inclusive, integrated and long-sighted approach, emphasising a more radical integration of nature within cities, might support the tr…
Exploring desired urban futures: The transformative potential of a nature-based approach
Amidst multiple crises and calls for transformative change, the demand to reassess human-nature relationships has increased. Rethinking the future of cities is vital in this process, yet positive urban visions prioritizing nature beyond human-centred perspectives are lacking. To address this gap, we propose a “nature-based desired futures” approach for envisaging and building collective discussion around transformative change. We explore four con…
Planning Just Futures: Edited by Marisa A. Zapata and Lisa K. Bates
We are said to be living in a time of multiple failures and crises (climate, biodiversity, health, inequality – to name a few now in the headlines) all playing out within a fast changing world. Behind the grand narratives of planetary boundaries and Anthropocene, is a world of increasing injustice and inequitable relationships – between humans and between humans and more-than human life. If our dominant systems fail to change, the unravelling of …
Inner transformation to sustainability as a deep leverage point: Fostering New Avenues for Change Through Dialogue and Reflection
This article provides a rationale for inner transformation as a key and hitherto underresearched dimension of sustainability transformations. Inner transformation relates to various aspects of human existence and interactions such as consciousness, mindsets, values, worldviews, beliefs, spirituality and human-nature connectedness. The article draws on Meadows' leverage points approach, as places to intervene in a system, to reveal the relevance o…
Transforming knowledge systems for life on Earth: Visions of future systems and how to get there
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what future envisioned knowledge sy…
Beyond techno-utopia and its discontents: On the role of utopianism and speculative fiction in shaping alternatives to the smart city imaginary
Who is doing inter- and transdisciplinary research, and why? An empirical study of motivations, attitudes, skills, and behaviours
We witness a persistent tension between established ways of knowledge production through disciplines, and the urgent need to widen and change, both the production of knowledge and its organization, not least, in order to be able to understand and address the future and its challenges. Witnessing a growing call for inter- and transdisciplinarity (ITD), we set our goal to learn more about scholars who engage in this kind of research by asking these…

The future imagined: Exploring fiction as a means of reflecting on today’s Grand Societal Challenges and tomorrow’s options
The Green Economy and Sustainable Development: An Uneasy Balance?
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (or Rio+20) was conceived at a time of great concern for the health of the world economy. In this atmosphere ‘green economy’ was chosen as one of two central themes for the conference, building on a burgeoning body of literature on the green economy and growth. This research examines the relationship and influence between the double crisis and the rise of ‘greening’ as part of the solution.…

New Agendas for Appraisal: Reflections on Theory, Practice, and Research
Appraisal-defined here to include a variety of ex ante techniques and procedures that seek to predict and evaluate the consequences of certain human actions-has been afforded an increasingly important role in environmental policy. We argue in this paper, however, that both the nature of appraisal and its role in the political process have been inadequately conceptualised. Exploring a literature that has tended to polarise 'technical' and 'deliber…
